June 28 will be released Backup and Sync - a new version of «Google Drive." It will not be a simple cloud storage, and a powerful tool to backup your files.
Soon information will not be stored on a «Google Drive." The new service will be able to monitor and back up files in all folders that you open. It can be a desktop, the entire folder "Documents" or some other specific place.
Backup and Sync will come to replace the application «Google Drive." Already, the service is integrated into the boot loader "Google Photos"Windows and MacOS. The company advises regular users to download new application as soon as it comes out. But business users while it is recommended to continue to work with the old version of "Drive."
It is not clear what opportunities will appear in Backup and Sync. Presumably, you will still be able to open and edit the files stored in the cloud. But it is not known whether it will be possible to synchronize these files on other computers by using the "Disc" as a mediator. It should take into account the limited space in the cloud: 15GB of free will end up much more quickly.
However, innovation must come to users liking. Many have long asked to add something similar to the Dropbox: at present it is necessary to store the files from the cloud in designated folder. Backup and Sync solves that problem.
